International Classification:

G01V 128

US Classification:

702 13, 702 14

Abstract:

A single intranet, internet, or World Wide Web-accessible interface is provided for, initiation of, interactive adjustments to, and access to the outputs of an integrated workflow of a plurality of analytical computer applications for characterization and analysis of traits and optimal management of the extraction of oil, gas, and water from a subsurface reservoir. By combining disparate analytical application tools in a seamless and remotely accessible, package, incompatibility problems caused by the disparate nature of petroleum analysis methods is reduced. The assumptions, analytic processes, and input data used for one analysis may be readily retrieved and re-evaluated for that reservoir or for future evaluations of the same or other reservoirs. Thus a flexible database of analysis tools and data may be implemented for access, input, and output of workflow and analytical data in the field, in conjunction with standard main computer servers, software and plug-ins, and portable remote computers.

US Classification:

706 45, 706 46, 706 52

Abstract:

An Innervated Stochastic Controller optimizes business decision-making under uncertainty through time. The Innervated Stochastic Controller uses a unified reinforcement learning algorithm to treat multiple interconnected operational levels of a business process in a unified manner. The Innervated Stochastic Controller generates actions that are optimized with respect to both financial profitability and engineering efficiency at all levels of the business process. The Innervated Stochastic Controller can be configured to evaluate real options. In one embodiment of the invention, the Innervated Stochastic Controller is configured to generate actions that are martingales. In another embodiment of the invention, the Innervated Stochastic Controller is configured as a computer-based learning system for training power grid operators to respond to grid exigencies.

International Classification:

G06F 15/18

US Classification:

706 12

Abstract:

A machine learning system creates failure-susceptibility rankings for feeder cables in a utility's electrical distribution system. The machine learning system employs martingale boosting algorithms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to generate a feeder failure prediction model, which is trained on static and dynamic feeder attribute data. Feeders are dynamically ranked by failure susceptibility and the rankings displayed to utility operators and engineers so that they can proactively service the distribution system to prevent local power outages. The feeder rankings may be used to redirect power flows and to prioritize repairs. A feedback loop is established to evaluate the responses of the electrical distribution system to field actions taken to optimize preventive maintenance programs.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06N 5/00
G06G 7/48

US Classification:

706 45, 703 10

Abstract:

A computer-aided lean management (CALM) controller system recommends actions and manages production in an oil and gas reservoir/field as its properties and conditions change with time. The reservoir/field is characterized and represented as an electronic-field (“e-field”). A plurality of system applications describe dynamic and static e-field properties and conditions. The application workflows are integrated and combined in a feedback loop between actions taken in the field and metrics that score the success or failure of those actions. A controller/optimizer operates on the combination of the application workflows to compute production strategies and actions. The controller/optimizer is configured to generate a best action sequence for production, which is economically “always-in-the-money. ”.
